About the Role
Hutchi is looking for an experienced Senior AV Project Manager to take ownership of multiple complex AV projects from planning through to delivery. You'll lead a multi-disciplinary team to deliver projects on time, within budget, and to customer satisfaction — all while managing stakeholder engagement across the full project lifecycle.
This is a senior, customer-facing role: you'll be the key point of contact for your projects, mentoring junior team members and leading by example within the AV Projects team.
What You'll Be Doing
- Collaborating with Sales, TechDev, Design, Procurement and Warehouse teams to deliver each project
- Developing a clear project plan for every project in your portfolio, based on scopes of work from site contractors, ensuring customer and end-user expectations are aligned
- Mitigating delivery risks through forward planning
- Arranging procurement of project materials via the Purchasing team
- Managing multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring execution quality meets or exceeds customer expectations
- Ensuring projects are delivered to Hutchi's quality standards
- Owning customer technical expectations, monitoring the customer experience throughout, and securing project delivery sign-off
- Leading professional, competent customer communications from project start to completion
- Acting as the customer's key contact for project execution, maintaining a shared understanding of the delivery programme and any project variations
- Leading each project collaboratively and decisively, sharing knowledge openly and living Hutchi's values — taking ownership, delivering for customers, being innovative, and leading with a one-team mentality
- Equipping each project team member with the documentation, tools, equipment, materials and contacts they need to deliver effectively
- Providing clear, timely performance feedback to the project delivery team
- Engaging respectfully with all project stakeholders
- Ensuring compliance with site health and safety requirements
- Communicating any site environmental issues to the project team
- Managing project costs against plan and within company profitability margins
- Maintaining the 'cost to complete' document accurately, enabling Finance and the Head of Department to track full project costs
- Managing project variations in discussion with the relevant Sales Deal Owner/technical designer
- Mentoring junior team members
- Contributing suggestions for process improvements within the PM team
